A couple of bunnies haul a gigantic pumpkin home from a pumpkin patch, dragging it down the sidewalk in an old-fashioned red toy wagon. A third bunny rolls a smaller pumpkin sideways along the sidewalk just behind them

A steady rain on our morning walk. Most of the color changing leaves are hanging on in spite of the high winds and rain. Be like Grace and my other Border Collies - enjoy every day. For me that means remembering this even on Monday, when it is harder to get rolling.

On my morning walk the dogs and I saw a few trees down from the Nor'easter winds. One has fallen across the trail in the woods. We walked during a bit of a lull in the weather, more rain and wind predicted for today and tomorrow.

Discovered some sheep shenanigans on my morning walk. Likely a deer ran into the portable electric fence creating a hole for the sheep escape. They were enjoying scratching their sides on trees. When the dogs and I approached, the sheep hopped into the pasture and I put the fence back up.
